The nose is a full on sherry assault with candied fruit and maybe even a bit of cinnamon. The palate kicks in very sweet. It dissipates a bit, but it's still pretty sweet. Malt kicks in at the late palate and, really, in the finish.

This is too sweet for my tastes neat but water does wonders for it, bringing out the malty flavor that's hinted at in the finish, and giving it a nice balance. Good stuff!

I always seem to like these Glendronach PX puncheon dealios, but I have yet to truly love one. There's a syrupy quality in the nose and finish that's tasty, but approaching cloying… I think it's the PX sherry that does that for me, as that's a type of sherry that I find too sweet and overpowering on its own.

t: tobacco leaf with Luxardo cherries. More dark chocolate and turns oaky and dry in the midpalatte. Nice element of butterscotch and scalded red berry jam. Raisinbread dough sweetness comes into play in the finish. Very nice and tasty!
